Kids that care club world hearing day school challenge
Description:
Kids That Care Club (KTCC) Uganda’s School challenge is a hearing loss awareness campaign designed to involve adolescents, parents, and school administrators in the promotion of early detection to prevent children from losing their hearing.
KTCC will team up with Alliance Secondary School as students will be challenged to create a skit, poster, or project that will carry the theme of this year’s campaign: From Communities to Classrooms; Hearing Care for all Children.
Our KTCC School Challenge is a unique campaign as it includes a wide diversity of individuals and age ranges. By involving adolescents at the secondary school level, we are letting them take the lead in motivating the elders to understand the importance of early detection. Our school competition targets school administrators, while holding an award ceremony at a religious center will spread our awareness message to the local community thus reaching our targeting audience.
